तत् कुरुष्व महेष्वास युद्धाद् बुद्धिं निवर्तय ॥
तस्य वाक्यस्य निधने प्रादुरासीच् छिवो ऽनिलः ॥
अनुलोमः सुगन्धी च पृषतैश् च समन्वितः ॥
देवदुन्दुभयश् चैव संप्रणेदुर् महास्वनाः ॥
पपात पुष्पवृष्टिश् च भीष्मस्योपरि पार्थिव ॥
न च तच् छुश्रुवे कश् चित् तेषां संवदतां नृप ॥
ऋते भीष्मं महाबाहुं मां चापि मुनितेजसा ॥
संभ्रमश् च महान् आसीत् त्रिदशानां विशां पते ॥
पतिष्यति रथाद् भीष्मे सर्वलोकप्रिये तदा ॥
इति देवगणानां च श्रुत्वा वाक्यं महामनाः ॥
ततः शांतनवो भीष्मो बीभत्सुं नाभ्यवर्तत ॥

अनुवाद

He thought: "I am able with a single bow to slay all the Pandavas, were it not for their mighty protector Vishvaksena. But for two reasons I will not fight the Pandavas: because they cannot be slain, and because Shikhandin has a woman's nature. When my father, once pleased with me, took Kali as his wife, he granted me the gift of death at my own will and invulnerability in battle. Therefore I consider that my time of death has now come." Learning of this resolve of Bhishma of boundless energy, the rishis and the Vasus standing in the sky said to him: "What you have decided, O hero, is very dear to us. Do this, great archer; turn your mind away from battle." As their speech came to a close, a gentle, favorable, fragrant wind blew, mingled with light drops of rain. The mighty divine kettledrums sounded with a great roar, and a shower of flowers fell upon Bhishma, O king. No one heard this exchange, O king, except mighty-armed Bhishma and myself - through a sage's power. Among the gods a great commotion arose: Bhishma, beloved of all the worlds, was about to fall from his chariot. Hearing the words of the hosts of gods, the great-souled Bhishma, son of Shantanu, no longer advanced against Bibhatsu, though he was pierced by sharp arrows that broke through every defense."
